Overuse Sports Injuries In Children
Dr. Roger Saldana, Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon with Miami Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute at Baptist Children's Hospital, recommends parents and coaches not to exacerbate the pain encouraging children to keep playing when they are injured, because can produce tears, and growth plate injuries.
"If you are playing your sports while you're injured, it'll change your mechanics, and predispose to other injuries."
